Can walking around in snow for a few minutes hurt a child with asthma?

Our 4 yr. old wants to play in the newly fallen snow, for at least a few minutes. She has Asthma. Will being out in it for 15 mins. or so be harmful? She's seeing a pulmonologist this week and gets over a bout of coughing and then it hits again. we don't want to cause more harm but want to know is Cold moist air harmful or not in this case? thanks
pretreat with albuterol and either wrap a scarf over the lower half of her face or a ski mask with only eye holes. Cold air entering the bronchi's can cause spasms, so the air needs to be warmed first by a mask or scarf.

Children with asthma have cited a number of climatic conditions as trigger factors. Many identify cold air as triggering asthma. Pulmonary function studies demonstrate that breathing cold air provokes asthma in most children with asthma.

Precautions may be necessary to avoid inhalation of cold air, such as wearing a special ski mask designed for this purpose. A heavy scarf, worn loosely over the Nose and Mouth, will also help avoid cold air induced asthma.

My theory on child rearing with asthma has always been to not try to prevent all flares, just to lessen the severity of potential flares...when the kids are grown they are not going to remember that playing in the snow meant they had a flare..the flares all kindof run together in their memory..but they will remember that they got to play in the snow, just like everyone else.
